Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that he never wanted to be a politician, but he became one by accident.
VerseNews reports that the former President made the submission while speaking with a group of youths under the aegis of ‘Africa for Africa Youth Initiative’, (A4A), at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta.
He said, “I never wanted to be a politician, I became one by accident, but the love of my people, love for my country and humanity made it something that I am coming into”.
He charged politicians to aspire to go into politics to serve their people.
“Politics is about service, you must give service and nobody is too old or too young or too poor to give service. When we begin to give quality service, then we shall have qualitative governance.”
